Breakfast Topic: Do you have a crush on a minor NPC?

I have a crush too. Makavu, the troll banker in Orgrimmar's Valley of Spirits, has a way of saying things that makes my bank alt swoon. Nobody says okey-dokey like he does. I think Auctioneer Ziji may be jealous of our romance. She seems pleasant enough when I conduct business with her, but she watches grimly as I flirt with Makavu. I suppose it is possible that my love isn't returned. Who knows the workings of a troll's heart?
Sassy Hardwrench isn't a minor NPC, but she isn't a major one either. Maybe I shouldn't mention the fact that my mage Tizzy thinks she's dreamy. Tizzy couldn't express her feelings when Sassy was her Executive Assistant -- what with sexual harassment cases being what they are -- and now Sassy runs her own place. She's out of Tizzy's league.
Do you have a crush on a minor NPC? Which vendor or guard makes your heart beat faster? Or does your character have a romance in every city? Heroes often tend to have groupies, after all ...

No. I prefer older women :P

I'd make an exception for Aimee. Her "Red Velvet Cupcake" is worth the risk.

You know, I wrote this thinking that someone was going to make the obvious joke and I tried to come up with a better way to put it and failed. So then I rationalized that this joke was so very obvious that no one would actually make it, particularly since it is obvious what I'm talking about.
This rationalization shows that no matter how long I have been on the internet/bbs/chatrooms, I still have more to learn. The fact that this joke was voted up just underlines and puts exclamation points on that.

My crushes are not MINOR. I only have crushes on important NPCs.
Hm. That came out completely wrong.
I enjoy it when we have an assortment of friendly NPCs in a raid or dungeon, so I can stealth roleplay while we're on break or before an encounter starts.

I had a fondness for the old Tyrande model. The new one, not so much. There needs to be another strong female presence on the alliance side. I am thinking a Draenei or Dwarf power player (not the dark Iron bird either). I don't know the lore well enough to know if any exist. I also like Mylune but there is the whole lower half is a deer/moose thing going on.

Obligatory Tarenar Sunstrike nod, since I always have to mention him at every opportunity. He's so adorable. ^_^
However, since he is a) not THAT "minor", given both the smashing success of Fiona's Caravan in general and his reappearance in Mount Hyjal, and b) my own personal little crush rather than my character's...
For my main, a Forsaken DK who absolutely hates Sylvanas with a blinding passion, it has to be Argent Apothecary Judkins out in EPL (whom you meet during the course of questing with tarenar and Co., coincidentally enough).
As a rotting corpse, my toon could never really hope to win the hand of one of the living, namely any creature who actually has a sense of smell. But the Sylvanas-worshipping zealots that make up the majority of Forsaken would consider her a deviant and a traitor.
Argent Apothecary Judkins is the only Forsaken NPC I have encountered who will actively speak out *against* Sylvanas, and my main would certainly like to get to know him better....

My favorite tauren lady is Kaja. After all these years, she still repairs my battered armor. She's also a giant among tauren. I was distraught when I didn't see her in the new Orgrimmar and relieved to find her. Org would not be the same without her.
He's not minor, but Vol'jin is the one who makes me swoon.
Matthew Feb 16th 2012 1:24PM
I too was distraught when Kaja left her abode north of the old AH, and was glad to see her in the Tauren District.
She's a tall one have you noticed?

Vol'jin can have my vote for sticking it to Garrosh.

Scout Manslayer of Orgrimmar has always caught my eye on her patrols, and judging by the wowhead comments i'm not the only one! http://www.wowhead.com/npc=14376/scout-manslayer#comments

I initially read that as 'do you have a crush on an npc minor'...
Wrong on so many levels.
Jamie Feb 16th 2012 8:25AM
She'd slay you alive, jinzil!
Muagen Feb 16th 2012 8:25AM
Mylune!
bimberiusz Feb 16th 2012 9:10AM
You dare call Mylune Minor NCP!
Rich Feb 16th 2012 1:37PM
"aah, the great outdoors!"
Strawder Feb 18th 2012 1:42AM
Yes, Mylune. Indeed.
There's others, but Mylune's dialouge just leaves me in tears, laughing.
Marcosius Feb 16th 2012 8:26AM
Earthcaller Yevaa. I don't know why I find her endearing so much.
milindpania Feb 16th 2012 8:55AM
Another Yevaa fan here! :D She's spunky.
Also, I've forgotten the name, but the High Elf Blacksmith trainer in Dalaran.
Bobby Earl Feb 16th 2012 8:28AM
Although not a crush (I don't happen to go that way), I did admire the cut of Captain Placeholder's jib. I think we could have been great pals if only he'd stuck around. I miss that guy.

"Do you have a crush on a minor NPC?"
.....No! I'm not attracted to jailbait! I'm LordVashtal, not LordPedobear! Jeesh! Some people!
